Hi Vic!
Lois saw Cindy begin to rise up on her tiptoes and her mouth dropped open when she realised that her baby cousin was about to kiss her best friend.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Clark took it on himself to tidy away.
Did Cindy kiss so badly that Clark had to block it from his mind?
He glanced to his side and saw Cindy gazing at him, her chin resting on her hand, itself resting on the coffee table.
Oh, you went back in time a bit. Duh!
yup
She’d been making her interest known all evening and Clark had yet to figure out how to gently let her down.
Maybe ‘I’m sorry, but I’m into reporters’?
Nods. That might do it.
We’ve had a fun evening. I’d like to do it again sometime.”
‘Have fun’? Later that night? In his bedroom?
WHOA! Even that might be too forward for Cindy. *ponders* Naaa.
“Don’t fight this. I think we could be good together.
Lois hasn’t killed him yet so he’s likely not a cad. Cindy wants something dependable for a change? Like a Volvo?
Cindy's realised all her previous husbands/boyfriends were ... dirt. She's found a keeper here.
I’m attracted to you, and I know you’ve been watching me.”
Yeah, like the doe watches the lion stalking the herd.
Spot on.
“I, uh ... I, uh ... dropped the popcorn,” she replied but Clark could see the deadly glare that Lois was giving her cousin.
CINDY:
Enter confused Cindy.
“Sorry, Clark. Guess I got my wires crossed. From both of you.” She turned to look at her big cousin just standing in the kitchen area, then she left and shut the door behind her.
So, she won’t be attending the wedding as a bride’s maid?
LOIS: Well, she’s not a maiden, even if she’s presently unwed.
Cindy will be at the wedding.
He lingered for another moment taking in the sight of the soft, grey material pulled tightly over her behind,
Oh yeah. He liked that sight.
How did she even get me to agree to The Pact all those years ago?
Reasonably good looking. Not completely unreasonably inebriated. And pushy.
You can’t force her into anything; she’s Lois Lane.
No but he can trick her by dating other women in front of her.
Hmm. The thing is ... Lois thinks that Clark 'dating' is what she wants ... it might not work.
#16 - A deal is a deal.
#17 - A contract is a contract is a contract ... but only between Ferengi.
LOIS: Fine. But we all know that females aren’t allowed to make deals or engage in contracts.
Wow. You got Star Trek into FDK. That's great. Especially as Teri was in a Star Trek episode. Yay.
Maybe he’s just having a bad hair day.
So, head looks like Ralphs?
Maybe it is Ralph? What if his middle name is Brian?
Dog mistook him for a fire hydrant while he slept off last night’s cheap booze underneath one of the bridges that span Hobs Bay
What an image. LOL. But it was actually more Grandpa/Business/Stuffy.
Waistline like Bill Church?
BRIAN: Looky there! Jackpot!
“So, what Operas have you attended recently?” he asked.
Well…there’s Wrong Clark, which is kind of about soaps and stuff…
*falls on the floor laughing*
“Oh, sorry. Well, what are your current interests then?”
LOIS: Mel Gibson. And Ivory Tower reruns.
Maybe you should have filled in Lois' profile for her?
She smiled and left a confused, but possibly relieved, Brian finishing his scone.
Do they have ratings on the dating profile? Will Brian be giving her 2 stars and comment that she was good looking but a terrible date?
Hmm. Rating your dates? Wonder how Jenny will come off...
Maybe it’s like eavesdropping on someone’s conversation. What’s the moral code for listening to someone’s heart?
ICU nurses: It’s our job.
NIA truth specialist: What’s this ‘moral code’ thing?
Wow. Two completely different thoughts on whether this is a good thing. Would Superman fall closer to the ICU job or the NIA? Saving lives or Spy?
“Routine! Kent! There is nothing routine about Superman saving people. He is a miracle. And every life he saves, every disaster he averts is a gift to us all.” Lois spoke passionately.
Really? Even 8 years down the line?
LOIS:
Of course, even after eight years!!!!!!
How do you get those articles, Clark?”
He’s sharing a bedroom with Superman?
I'm sure that story has been done before!
Plus she would have had to confess that it had been a terrible failure.
Maybe even that she’d been wrong to specify an incorrect profile?
LOIS:
Lois would never admit that she made any ... mistakes ...
She carefully adjusted her responses, taking the time to think about each answer.
Oooooh! Now it will more closely match the woman she’s trying to find for Clark.
“I signed you up to a dating website and you have a date for tonight.”
“You what!” he shouted as he stood up.
So, will Clark get her to give up the password? And will he modify the profile to actually match what he wants? And then they’ll have mail?
Michael
Clark will definitely demand his log in details ... but what will he do with them?
